School Assembly, Friday afternoon, The Auditorium

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Welcome, one and all, to the first school assembly of the new semester! In case you haven't met me yet, I am The Tick! Dean of Students here at Fandom High. That means that where student issues are concerned, I am the parking attendant in the self park garage of your education!"

"Today, we have a special in the garage! It's a special that speaks of a different kind of special you might get in a seedier garage. Today's special is called DANK: Drugs Are Not Kool! Spelling is cool, of course, but sometimes you have to make an exception and spell something with a 'k' to work. Anyway, we will have several speakers this afternoon, guiding your car into a parking space of a clean and healthy life! Please welcome our guests!"

[OOC: Each speaker will have their own thread, plus there will be a Q&A thread at the end of the post for them to ping into. Also, since it seems appropriate this time, there will be a thread for after the assembly to speak to the guests a bit more privately. Please wait to ask the speakers questions until the speakers have pinged in.

There are also a couple of general conversation threads for people who don't want to give their undivided attention. :)

Big thanks to all of the speakers! Speaking of which, speakers should be sure to check their comm invites.]

"Yes," Turtle lowered her hand and spoke in her most professinal manner, "Would you say that your problem with drugs was influenced by the business, or was it something that started out before?"

Danny actually took this question seriously. "There's a lot of drug use in the business, and I'd be lying to you if I said that some folks didn't do better with them than without. But I would've been a drug addict even if I was an insurance salesman. Actually I probably would've gone ahead and killed myself if I worked as an insurance salesman, but you get the idea."

Turtle nodded. "Yeah," she said, feeling his answer gave her lots to wrap her mind around. "Thank you, sir."
